For those Relient K fans out there, the band will be performing tonight, July 11th, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They'll be doing 'Be My Escape'. I can't watch since I'll be at work, so everyone else has to and tell me how it was.

Today's Essential Listening is a band that played Cornerstone, but I didn't see them since I didn't know they existed: Paramore are from Tennessee, female-fronted, and they sound like what Taking Back Sunday might sound like if those were their circumstances. Check out their stuff over here and be rocked. Yay pop.

One of the three brothers Loeffler that comprise Chicago rock machine Chevelle will be skipping the summer tour with Taproot and 30 Seconds to Mars to be home with family; former Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo will be the stopgap measure. [cmcentral]

Rumour has it that Anti-Flag will be the opening act for the upcoming Ottawa Green Day/Jimmy Eat World show. Fact? Fiction? It remains to be seen.
